Subchorionic blood collection or hematoma, anyone else have this?

Hey ladies,We had our second ultrasound today and I am 8 weeks and 2 days along. The baby looked good and we saw the heartbeat again, but now I have a subchorionic blood collection in my uterus. The doctor wants another ultrasound in two weeks to make sure it is gone. Should I be concerned, because I am!!!!

I had this happen in my 6th week. I went to the ER bc I had massive bleeding, clots and cramping. I was sure the baby was gone. It turns out I had a large hematoma. In some cases, it can continue to bleed and it can cut off blood flow to the baby and cause a miscarriage. But in most cases, it heals on its own. My doctor said that in most cases, if it is going to cause a MC, it already has before you even know you have one. If the pregnancy is fine and the hematoma is showing up on an US, then it is most likely already healing. I am now almost 11 weeks and mine has healed. My doctor has done US every two week to monitor it and now it is a tiny blip on the picture. Donâ€™t worry :)

Same as previous poster for me, I have a large subchorionic bleed also. Mine started off at around 5x5x1 cm, grew to 5x6x2 cm a week later, and one week after that (yesterday) it measured 4x5x1.75 so it is getting smaller!!! There is no treatment except to take it easy and be off your feet whenever you are able, and drink a LOT of water. I drink water all day long it helps keep my cramps and contractions away which in turn helps it heal faster!! Good luck :)

I had one when I was pregnant with my son. I was bleeding and cramping and fearing the worst. Some crappy ER doctor told me I would miscarry within 24 hours. Be happy your doctor found it and not an ER doctor. They are the worst when it comes to subchrionic bleeds. As you can see by my signature my son was born very healthy. I had never heard of the SB before but they are rather common. One of my sisters even had one with 2 of her boys and theyre both fine too.

Good luck. Enjoy getting to see your little one again in 2 weeks.

I had two small ones at 6 weeks. They were found at the ER b/c I thought I was miscarrying. The doc told me once you see the heartbeat the chances of having a miscarriage from the hematomas is very small. Mine went away after a few days of bed rest. I would say the plus side to having them is you get more ultrasounds. I am only 10 weeks and I've already had 3 and every one has looked good :-) Try not to worry, I know it's hard!

I had one diagnosed at 6.5 weeks after some bright red blood. At my 9w appt it was gone already. They are fairly common and I think you'll be ok. A friend of mine had hers until 20 weeks and she has a baby girl.
